CJ buggy build

[wjtstudios]

Added some supports going from the shock hoops to the section of frame with the engine mounts. Should help stiffen everything up front when I cut out the unneeded part of the old frame. Started plumbing the transmission cooler lines. I wanted to make each line out of a single piece of tubing. Got a little too short on this line. Hopefully the next on I can make the way I want it.

Those shock hoops look stout! Builds looking great.

Temporarily mounted the orbital valve and steering column. I'm happy with where the valve is but the column might be a little too high. I'll have to make a new bracket.

Reinforcing the frame to role cage with some more tubing.

I made and welded in some fuel cell mounts. Drilled and tapped mounting holes

Got a new battery box and battery. Getting them mocked up.

Welded a plate to the roll cage and made it so I can remove the battery box. Bolted in the battery box and put I my new battery

Thank you. Needed a break from working on the buggy.

The steering column was too high. I took a piece of 2x3 tubing and made a spacer to drop the wheel. Welding kinda sucks with a splint on...lol

Parts are coming in. Brake and steering plumbing parts. Had enough to start on the rear axle, still waiting for the rest to show up.

Power steering heat sink is mocked up. I used 2 pieces of 2" square tubing to make the mounts. They don't connect, only long enough to support the cooler, maximize air flow and cooling.

Built some hydraulic lines and modified the orbital valve support bracket.

Got some work putting brake line clips on the trusses. Got the hydraulic lines routes through the front truss, pretty tight though.
